ABSTRACT:
An ophthalmic delivery vehicle for dispensing therapeutic medications in the eye is comprised of a body defining a reservoir in which a therapeutic medication is stored and having a semipermeable skin or outer surface through which the medication is dispensed. The body has a frustospherical annular shape and has a size permitting the body to be inserted in the eye in circumscribing relationship with the corneal-scleral junction without intruding upon the junction. In the eye, the annular body extends in the posterior direction over the globe of the eye and into the upper and lower conjunctival sacs behind the upper and lower eyelids.
